The strength of our rural mountain communities comes from neighbors who care for one another and invest in the future.

A Stronger, Shared Future Starts With Your Vote
Holy Cross Energy is part of everyday life in our mountain communities. From keeping the lights on at home to powering local businesses and schools, dependable service and responsible rates matter to all of us.
As a member-owned cooperative, Holy Cross should remain grounded in community voice, thoughtful leadership, and practical planning for the future.
I’m running for the Holy Cross Energy Board to help keep our co-op strong, member-driven, innovative, and ready for the opportunities ahead. I would be honored to earn your vote.
About Me
About Me
I have proudly called Eagle County home since 1994 and have spent my career helping strengthen rural mountain communities.
Like many working families in our region, I understand the pressures of rising costs, housing challenges, and the importance of dependable monthly utility bills. These issues are real for households across our service area, and they deserve thoughtful leadership.
Professionally, I serve as an Associate Dean of Education at Colorado Mountain College, where I lead innovative workforce and community initiatives that help local residents build careers and stay rooted in the communities they love.
My work has focused on creating practical solutions, building partnerships, managing resources responsibly, and turning ideas into results that benefit everyday people.
I hold a doctorate in Higher Education Administration and Policy and have worked at the local, state, and national levels to strengthen opportunity in rural communities.
Like many members, my children, our pets, my partner, and I depend on Holy Cross Energy every day at home.
I’m ready to bring that same commitment, fiscal stewardship, and future-focused leadership to Holy Cross Energy.

Why This Matters
Why This Matters
Holy Cross Energy is more than a utility—it is a member-owned cooperative that helps power our homes, businesses, schools, and communities.
The decisions made today will shape affordability, reliability, and long-term sustainability for years to come. I believe we can honor our cooperative values while preparing wisely for the future.
